what's going on

Lots going on here=one very tired mama.

I am working on quilting this quilt for Heather. This is still part of our trade off-babysitting for quilting. She pieced the top. Isn't it fantastic? I love the blues and aquas. It's the same pattern as this quilt.

We have a little girl in our house that turned 2 on Tuesday. She got a cold for her birthday. :(

I have 2 more quilts in the queue which are basted and ready to quilt.

I am doing some summer wardrobe planning for my little girl. Dresses like this. Bloomers that I want to try from this tutorial.

And my husband has been working some crazy long hours, so I've been on single parent duty for a few nights a week lately. Ugh.

What's going on at your house today?

-----Also, I added the names to the list for the quilt along. If yours isn't there, please send me an email or leave me a comment to let me know so I can add it. I tried to add each name, but I may have inadvertently missed someone. Thanks to all of you who already signed up and for your enthusiasm.

I am actually sitting in the beauty shop getting my hair colored. Imagine that? They have laptops for the customers so you know what I am doing. I can't wait to start the quilt along. I am going to Helen Ga. tomorrow for a vacation and I am taking my sewing machine!

Oh dear, I hope everything gets back to normal soon. Heather's quilt is lovely!Over here I'm still trying to get my priorities straight. And make our expenses fit into the budget. I'll have to seriously curb my fabric shopping. :-(

Hope little A had a good birthday despite the cold. I can't wait to see what you have planned for summer clothes for her. Hugs to you, I know it is stressful on you when K has to work such long hours. Hopefully it will end soon and things will get back to normal. I am working on another outfit for Associated Sewing right now. I should be able to finish it tonight. That's what's going on at my house today. :0)

What am I up to? Today I -wrote an article called "How to crochet baby hats" -finished a set of glossaries for some ESL stories-pried shredded newspaper from little "Mister Can't Sit Still" -dashed to Cub Foods to buy items for dinner-cooked-started another article

Count me in on your new Quilt along! I am still working on the first one, as I started it late in the blog, but I plan to keep up with this one, as well as finish the first one as I go. I really appreciate you more than I can say. Happy birthday to your little one. Children are such a joy!

the quilt that I referred to in this post is just a pattern that I made up. I linked to the other one because I always think it is fun to compare 2 quilts from the same pattern in different color ways.

Up at 5 to drop oldest off for a school trip (hs.sr.). Back home got #2 off to school 6:15.Dog to vet. Food store. Made brownies. Laundry. Took phone call from hs. sr. saying she got there safe :). Drove kids to afterschool activities. Made dinner. Trip to target. Tried to make 1st quiltalong block - but never got to it. Try again tommorrow. That's what going on here today.

So pretty!! I am going to need your inspiration this month - I just told the world (or my 10 blog readers) that I'm going to make my master bed quilt by the end of May!! I'm crazy. I'll just come here to get motivated when I think I can't make it!
